‘Frozen 4’ in the Works at Disney, Bob Iger Reveals

Disney is heading back to Arendelle.

Bob Iger revealed the studio is working on a fourth Frozen movie in addition to the previously announced Frozen 3, which hasnt been released yet.

Frozen 3 is in the works, and there might be a Frozen 4 in the works too, Disneys CEO said Thursday on Good Morning America. But I dont have much to say about those films right now. [Director] Jenn Lee, who created the original Frozen and Frozen 2, is hard at work with her team at Disney animation on not one but actually two stories.

Frozen songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will be back to pen new tunes for the two follow-up films, Anderson-Lopez later confirmed on social media. Well, Ive been quiet here for a while, she wrote. But yeah, this.

Kristen Anderson-Lopez (@Lyrikris10) November 16, 2023 Iger made the announcement from Disneys theme park in Hong Kong, where hes in town for the opening ceremony of World of Frozen. The attraction lets guests not only meet Olaf, Anna and Elsa, but also dine at restaurants and walk the streets that evoke the mystical world of Arendelle.

For years at our Disney Parks, weve been creating these large immersive worlds. Essentially, they are the physical embodiment of some of the greatest stories that weve told And of course, Frozen being one of our most valuable franchises, I think its just right for building the place that Frozen takes place in, Iger said. Its just a fantastic land that enables people to get immersed in the story of Frozen and interact with all the great characters from the films.

Frozen and its 2019 sequel Frozen II became huge, zeitgeist-smashing hits for Disney. The follow-up film remains the biggest animated release of all time with $1.45 billion, though the original was no slouch with $1.33 billion. In addition to box office riches, the movies about the adventures of royal sisters Anna and Elsa (voiced by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel) produced inescapably popular songs like Let It Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman? as well as a Broadway musical.
